I drove out to the Beeline Hwy, and found a spot off the side of the road. My vision was to try and include some Saguaro cacti in the image. I waited for about 10 minutes, and then I saw it rising over the Mazatzal Mountains. It was quite an amazing sight to behold. The entire area I was photographing in had been recently been ravaged by the "Bush Fire", so it was wonderful to still capture such beauty in this devastated area of Tonto National Forest.
